- A: AnswerI think you are a little bit confused about the meaning of "unlocked" iPad. To understand this, first we must divide this iPad model into its two sub-models: the ones with Wi-Fi only and the ones with Wi-Fi + Cellular. Now, the Wi-Fi + Cellular models are the only ones that are defined as "unlocked", as it means that it does not have a Cellular Carrier (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.), but you can come into any of these carriers to "activate" your iPad. By doing this, you will have access to the carrier's 4G LTE network, which then allows you to use you iPad with internet connection on places where there is no Wi-Fi available. Essentially, just like a smartphone. And, just as a smartphone, again, you will have to pay a monthly fee for this cellular connection. Depending on the carrier and the plan you choose, the monthly fee charge varies. I would say that you are looking at around $50 a month for an unlimited cellular plan. But let's say you buy this Wi-Fi + Cellular model and do not activate it. Well, you won't have the cellular connection, but you would have GPS which is a hidden feature that this model has. But the price increase is not worth it.

- A: AnswerThere are two variants of iPad, the wifi model, and the LTE model, for most customers the wifi is sufficient because you're using it at home. If you plan to use your iPad out and about, the LTE model would be the way to go.

- A: AnswerI believe that a Best Buy employee can help you with that at the front desk without any fee. I would recommend that you have your Apple ID and password ready because you are most likely to use it for a backup which will then will be transferred to the new device.

Q: QuestionHow does this compare to the 6th generation model?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe new 9th gen is far superior in every way. It has a larger and better display (10.2 vs. 9.7), faster processor (A13 vs. A10), starts with double the storage (64 GB vs. 32 GB), as well as other things like better cameras on the front and back as well as features like Truetone and Center Stage. I wouldn't purchase a 6th gen iPad unless it was incredibly cheap or given as a hand-me-down.Answered by gldoorii
Q: QuestionWhat accessories go with this?(1 answer)
A: AnswerApple offers you many types of cases including one that contains a keyboard if you want to use it like a 2-in-1 laptop. It also supports the Apple Pencil, but only the first one (the cheaper one). And, as well, you can connect your AirPods. There are also all types of accessories from 3rd party brands for cases, cases with keyboards, digital pencils, and earphones. Just be sure that the product you are buying states that it is indeed compatible with iPad. It probably says so on the back. Also, you can still connect your wired earphones or headphones on the 3.5mm jack.Answered by Diego
- A: AnswerThe short answer is: iMessage: yes, SMS: no. The longer answer is that you can use an app like Google Voice or TextNow to send and receive SMS messages from your iPad, but there are some limitations. Some companies (banks, for example) will only send SMS messages to phone numbers registered with a cellular provider and not to a number registered with an app.

Excellent purchase
Overall very happy with this purchase! Works perfectly and I got it for a great price. I’m using it for my graduate program and it’s so convenient to take with me to class and pull out to reference an article. The iPad holds a charge for a long time and I can easily tether it to my phone via hotspot just from the iPad. I literally use this every day

Ipad Review for Office 365
I am absolutely thrilled with my Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) with Wi-Fi in Silver! This device has truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, especially when it comes to productivity and note-taking. First and foremost, the iPad's seamless integration with Office365 has been a game-changer for my work routine. Whether I'm drafting documents, creating spreadsheets, or preparing presentations, having access to the full suite of Office apps on this sleek device has made my workflow incredibly efficient. The responsive touchscreen and intuitive interface make tasks feel effortless, allowing me to focus more on the content rather than wrestling with technology. One of the standout features for me is the versatility of the iPad when it comes to note-taking. Whether I'm in a meeting, lecture, or brainstorming session, the iPad's Apple Pencil compatibility combined with its spacious 10.2-inch screen provides the perfect canvas for jotting down ideas, sketching diagrams, or annotating documents with precision. The palm rejection technology ensures a natural writing experience without any frustrating interruptions. Moreover, the 64GB storage capacity ensures that I have more than enough space to store my documents, presentations, notes, and multimedia files without worrying about running out of storage. The iPad's seamless synchronization with iCloud also ensures that my files are securely backed up and accessible across all my Apple devices, adding an extra layer of convenience to my work life. In addition to its exceptional performance for work-related tasks, the iPad is also a joy to use for entertainment and leisure activities. Whether I'm streaming movies, browsing the web, or playing games, the vibrant Retina display and powerful A13 Bionic chip deliver a stunning visual experience that never fails to impress. Overall, I cannot recommend the Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) enough for anyone in need of a reliable, versatile, and powerful device for work and beyond. Its seamless integration with Office365, impeccable note-taking capabilities, ample storage, and stunning performance make it a must-have tool for professionals and students alike.

My iPad 9th experience
Why did I buy this iPad? - I’m a student, and I need a device for study and entertainment. - I’m managing a social media page for an organization so I can use the iPad to do that. Advantages: - For study and work + This iPad is really fast and reliable + Taking notes and outlining ideas is very convenient. + With Apple Pencil and Logitech combo touch, this iPad is more and more useful. - For entertainment and other purposes + The display is clear and bright. + Speakers are good. + The very light weight that helps I can hold for a long time without any difficulty. + Touch ID is fast and reliable. + Fast charging and it may take around 1 hour not too long. - Disadvantages + Display color is a little bland compared to the iPad with my iPhone and my Macbook. This point has not affected my experience but if you have any works with color, I think you should consider other models. + With the keyboard and cover it will be a little heavier. + The new iPad OS isn’t stable right now, Safari sometimes crashes. + The trackpad of the Logitech cover sometimes freezes, I think it is because of the new OS but I’m not sure. + The non-laminated display is not beautiful like the Mini, Air, or Pro models. To be honest, I can’t realize if they are not side by side but I want to mention it because it may help you to make your decision. Summary With $250.00 this iPad has a good price/performance Thank you for reading my iPad 9th experience :)
